<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>When Richard Feynman gave the two-year course on physics that would become the famous "Feynman Lectures on Physics," four lectures were left out of the published set. Also included in this collection is an essay by Matthew Sands, who discusses the origins of the collection and the lectures themselves.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><i>Feynman's Tips on Physics</i> is a delightful collection of Richard P. Feynman's insights and an essential companion to his legendary <i>Feynman Lectures on Physics</i></b> <p/> With characteristic flair, insight, and humor, Feynman discusses topics physics students often struggle with and offers valuable tips on addressing them. Included here are three lectures on problem-solving and a lecture on inertial guidance omitted from <i>The Feynman Lectures on Physics</i>. An enlightening memoir by Matthew Sands and oral history interviews with Feynman and his Caltech colleagues provide firsthand accounts of the origins of Feynman's landmark lecture series. Also included are incisive and illuminating exercises originally developed to supplement <i>The Feynman Lectures on Physics</i>, by Robert B. Leighton and Rochus E. Vogt. <p/><i>Feynman's Tips on Physics</i> was co-authored by Michael A. Gottlieb and Ralph Leighton to provide students, teachers, and enthusiasts alike an opportunity to learn physics from some of its greatest teachers, the creators of <i>The Feynman Lectures on Physics</i>.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Always worthwhile to return to the feet of the master.--<b>Bill Gates</b>, <i><b>Wired</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Richard P.
